flood fears as a huge weather system causing problems from ohio valley to texas. maria is in the weather center. >> we could have a large system we're tracking stretching from texas up to the great lakes. the system is very slow moving system pulling a lot of moisture out of the gulf of mexico. a lot of these rings are heading out. parts of ohio, kentucky, down to tennessee and mississippi and northern arkansas and flood warnings because of the amount of rainfall we'll see from the system, generally speaking 3-6 inches of rain. locally you could get more than that, up to 8 inches are anticipated and another big concern, we have seen a lot of rain along arkansas and kentucky the past month. the month of november was record set are for if some of these cities, now we're looking at major flood concerns. once the ground is saturated more water on on top of that can't absorb it. here is the rain down through western ohio, tennessee and texas and this rain is beneficial for texas, again, gregg, those areas that have seen a lot of rain is not good for them. >> gregg: thanks very much. i'm gregg

arguments for the now familiar seven candidate on the stage. former senator rick santorum. texas governor rick perry. former massachusetts governor mitt romney. former speaker of the house, newt gingrich. congressman ron paul. congresswoman michele bachmann. former utah governor jon huntsman. [ applause ] joining me at the big desk my fox news colleague, neil cavuto, chris wallace, and megyn kelly. our rules are similar to the previous fox debate. one minute for answers. 30 seconds for follow-ups. if the candidates run too long, we'll politely remind them it's time to wrap up with this sound. after a long string of debates we trust you know the drill and we won't have to use it much. we have an enthusiastic crowd here tonight and we welcome that. but we do have a limited amount of time here. we ask you to honor the fact we're trying to keep valuable time for candidates throughout the debate. tonight's event obviously comes amid an extraordinary backdrop. the struggling american economy now further threatened by financial turmoil in europe, gridlock on capitol hill. a real threat to world

conservative. you've got rick perry, texas governor who has been working very hard for christian conservatives and has a big ad blitz that's been on the air for a month talk being his faith. newt gingrich, who has won the endorsement of influential christian conservatives in the last couple of days. and michelle bachmann, who was the winner of the ames straw poll and has had a really tough time in the polls and raising money of late. but quite popular with evangelical conservatives. all are vying for the christian conservative vote. what happens in the churches tomorrow could help persuade voters about that. and if the christian conservative vote in iowa coalesces behind one candidate, look out. mitt romney and ron paul could be facing a real upset. >> real leadership is not from me. it's prosecute you. what we've seen in the polls happen is because iowans had gone down and we can look at our web site, it's overwhelming from iowa. iowa is not the biggest state in the country, yet, we have had more people visit our web site from iowa than any other place. why? you're doing your homework. you're

, texas. susan, democratic line. caller: i have a couple of brief statements i would like responded to. history shows that after every republican administration, there has been a big financial disaster that has to be cleaned up. and another statement is, my understanding is our founding fathers worked for religious freedom, that the pilgrims that came over, came over to get away from religious persecution. and i equate what is going on now as extreme -- compared to extreme islam and other extreme religions. and the debt that was created was created by cheney-bush buy things they did not put on the books. and president obama did put them on the books. it makes it look bad for him, which is the things that cheney-bush did not put on the books. host: matthew strawn? guest: i think the one thing i will point out when it comes to increasing the debt on not just our current generation but future generations in washington, i think a lot of that, when you look at the debt that has accrued over the last two and a half years will bring three years of your the obama administration is frightening,

and look at parts of texas and good news every time we're in texas now, we've got some of that. a little bit of icing and the western side of that. and in texas as well. the west coast, you're looking good and you see a chance for showers moving in across parts of florida. looking at your forecast for the day today. a chilly one in the northeast, and snow showers yesterday, ten inches of snow. and it turns out, and that will be more sunshine and there will be some scattered showers and watch out, but the cool day with some scattered showers, and another nice day into the northern plains and 40 degrees in minneapolis and we'll take it, when you add to that some sunshine and across the west, another sunny day and a little bit of snow flying across the northern rockies and this evening a chance for showers at parts of california much more coming up here all morning long. >> all right, looks very festive. thanks so much, rick. >> go back to myrtle beach when it's warm and play some golf. thankfully he didn't fly with alec baldwin out there. >> that's right, alec baldwin had an incident on am

. from the southwest to america's heartland, seven deaths reported so far. this is the scene in texas. fierce winds and whiteout conditions making it very tough to travel. stranded motorists, as you can see, closed highways and blizzard warnings now in effect in kansas. there are reports of at least 10 inches of snow on the ground. snow pack and icy conditions closing the main roadway through the state. >> because they're not going to make it anyway even if they get past any of our checkpoints, they can't see. visibility is so poor that it makes it impossible to pass through that area. alisyn: fox's mike tobin joins us live from our chicago bureau. tell us what we're seeing, mike. >> reporter: you know, allison, there's such a temptation to try to be clever and throw out lines about white christmas, etc., but that would ignore the seriousness. as you mentioned, at least seven people have been killed. one colorado state trooper says he cannot count the number of rollover wrecks he has seen since this storm rolled in. it seems the hardest hit is kansas right now with some 10 inches of s

of texas where we have rain, sleet, even some snowfall. in speaking of snow, the big question a lot of people have is will we or will we not have a white christmas or is it going to be, well, quite frankly, one without snow? we'll have the answer coming up in a few moments plus we have a game day forecast to show you some of the big nfl games we'll have this weekend. what you as a fan can expect. >> all right, reynolds. we'll check in with you in a moment. thank you so much. meanwhile, fist fights. police using pepper spray, glass being smashed. these are shoppers doing all of this stuff. why? because they're after a pair of shoes. air jarodans. there it is. retro jordans re-released and people are kicking down doors and kicking each other to get them. stay with us. >>> coming up on eight minutes past the hour taking a look at news across the country. in aurora, colorado three firefighters had to be taken to the hospital after a chimney exploded. they were trying to put out flames inside a home and that back draft you hear about sometimes caused an explosion and knocking them off th
